Spooning Buddha

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― By the time I was a high school sophomore, I had found my niche. I was a clown. I could make fun of myself and get the laugh, somehow squeezing myself into a state of external acceptance. John Belushi did it as the Samurai. John Candy did it in... (more)

Dreaming is a Sticky Substance

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I still have negative thoughts. I don’t believe they will ever cease to exist as a part of my IWS (Initial Warning System). However, the fear based thoughts that spray out of my IWS no longer dictate my reality. I have shifted from a state of... (more)

Currency Exchange

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I don’t profess to know a whole lot about economics and I’m sure there are some very challenging things happening to our global balance. I do understand energy, however, so I know this: When we hold on too tightly to energy, especially out of... (more)

Dial Your Inner Lama

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― The silliest thing about it is that I learned long ago that I could not rely on any one else for spiritual sustenance. If I am to learn, grow and transform my consciousness I must not only find the right rock in the desert, I must find the right holy... (more)

Your Relational Revolution

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― The truth of the matter is that what makes me a good relationship counselor is the simple fact that I have used my own relationships as learning experiences from which to teach others what works and what miserably fails. For better of for worse, the... (more)

Freedom To Grow

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― Here, I have the freedom to never work on my inner emotional journey or, and this is what I’m really excited about, I have the freedom to utilize our seemingly endless resources and supports in order to create the perfect balance between material...

The Cosmology of DOG

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― The way I perceive life and death is the way I move through my life, making decisions and choosing paths along the journey. I believe that Chaco contracted with me long ago to walk this walk together, to enjoy the journey for as long as we decided it... (more)

You Can Call Me Dad.

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I’m not sure there is any real basis for an extrapolation of current behavior, depth, compassion and general “good with kids-ness” that automatically leads one to being an exceptional father. There is, however, a very real projection from you... (more)

Who Is Your Co-Pilot?

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I believe in personal responsibility. I know that when I make a decision rooted in a low frequency of my SELF that it will likely lead to low frequency outcomes. God, my understanding of God at least, doesn't appreciate being a part of low frequency... (more)

The Paradox of the Imperfect Superhero

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I have come to believe that we create our future by aligning our stories and our paths in the world with our soul's purpose. I believe this is almost always accomplished in relationship with those qualities we are here to express and with our natural... (more)

Life (and Love) On The Wall

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― There’s something about running that is more integral a part of me than the feet I use to run with because it demands a connection between my heart, mind and body. I must not only get past the pain and not just plow through the Wall, I must... (more)

On Nothingness and Everythingness…

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― Many of us believe that we think a certain way, therefore it must be so. There tends to be a dismissal of the possibility that I may be wrong, that I may be influenced by my emotions, my personal journey, and that, most important, others may believe... (more)

Are You Genetically Modified?

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― Genetic engineering (GE) or genetic modification (GM) of food involves the process of artificially inserting genes into the DNA of food crops or animals themselves, resulting in your basic, every day GMO. Most Americans claim they would not eat GMO's... (more)

A Confounded Tower for All of Us

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― I wanted to believe that this might be the only blog in town this week not about Osama or Obama. That I wouldn't write a tome about “to kill a killer” or “to gloat or not to gloat.” Yet, in the end, it’s all really about the meaning of life... (more)

The Beauty of Nothing.

Beyond Concrete: Memories, Dreams and Reflections ― The paradox of the Tarot's arguably most mysterious character, the Fool, is the lucky recipient of a Zero at the top of its card. The notion being that the Fool has no value at all, or perhaps the wise fool has more value in not being connected to a... (more)
